Covid 33 pregnant weeks breathing issues

[Anonymousmuma]

Has anyone had something similar? I'm 33 weeks, day 4 of covid.. I've been feeling like I can't get enough air.. I have an oximetre from the last time I had covid - readings are fine - 96-99.

I have low iron which I'm taking supplements for..

The breathing thing comes and goes but it's freaking me out a little - thinking it's in my head as oximetre is normal..

I don't want to phone triage as I feel like I'm being a wuss but did anyone else have this?

Thanks in advance!

I've not experienced this but I would say if you're concerned about anything at 33 weeks just call them, everything I've heard and read suggests they'd far rather you call and it's nothing than not call and it's something. Hope you're loads better soon!

Sats are not the be-all-and-end-all of respiratory assessment. If you’re unwell/worried you’re better off talking to your day assessment unit or equivalent to get their advice.

Ok thank you so much for your advice! Makes me feel better about calling them
